    Justine Jones has a secret. A hardcore hypochondriac, she’s convinced a blood vessel is about to burst in her brain. Then, out of the blue, a startlingly handsome man named Packard peers into Justine’s soul and invites her to join his private crime-fighting team. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime deal. With a little of Packard’s hands-on training, Justine can weaponize her neurosis, turning it outward on Midcity’s worst criminals.

    It is Nick and Amy Dunne's fifth wedding anniversary. Presents are being wrapped and reservations are being made when Nick's clever and beautiful wife disappears from their rented McMansion on the Mississippi River. Husband-of-the-Year Nick isn't doing himself any favors with cringe-worthy daydreams. Under mounting pressure from the police and the media - as well as Amy's fiercely doting parents - the town golden boy parades an endless series of lies, deceits, and inappropriate behavior. Nick is oddly evasive, and he's definitely bitter - but is he really a killer?

    What did you love best about Gone Girl?

    The nuanced writing is thrilling--pulling me forward into the story.


    What was one of the most memorable moments of Gone Girl?

    When Nick is in the police station Flynn perfectly communicates the alienation Nick is experiencing. "Tantalizing" is the word for the build up of suspense in that brightly lit room.


    What about Julia Whelan and Kirby Heyborne ’s performance did you like?

    EVERYTHING.


    Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

    The recollections, feelings, and insights of husband and wife on every page...wow.

    When literature student Anastasia Steele goes to interview young entrepreneur Christian Grey, she encounters a man who is beautiful, brilliant, and intimidating. The unworldly, innocent Ana is startled to realize she wants this man and, despite his enigmatic reserve, finds she is desperate to get close to him. Unable to resist Ana’s quiet beauty, wit, and independent spirit, Grey admits he wants her, too—but on his own terms.

    Story
    Would you try another book from E. L. James and/or Becca Battoe?

    Becca, no, definitely not.


    Would you be willing to try another book from E. L. James? Why or why not?

    Yes. His characters seem to have wit and humor, and might be sexy, if they were narrated by a more sophisticated reader who understood the basics rhythms of sarcasm and comedic timing.


    Would you be willing to try another one of Becca Battoe’s performances?

    No.


    What would have made this romance irresistible?

    A reader who didn't over-enunciate, growl, "up talk," misread the humorous lines, and use "reading" pronunciation: clamboring has a silent "b." An English major would surely know this.


    Any additional comments?

    Pity. My friends who are reading the book this summer are loving it. I am the "working" girl with a very long commute. Now listening is just tedious, but I want at least to be able to discuss the story with them.
